Singin' about Gingham!

What rhymes with gingham? Not singin' - but I tried!

I went crazy pinning anything gingham last week and in response pulled out this dinosaur from my wardrobe:

Heck YEAH! Gingham shirt!

Can gingham be two-toned? Is this really a gingham shirt? I thrifted it years ago, like 10 years or something. The shirt is a little small so I was tugging at the sleeves and the, um, middle buttons all day.

The last time I wore it was almost a year ago while I was getting prettied up for my wedding! (Because every bride knows to wear a button up shirt so you don't ruin your hair and make-up when you change into your dress.) I remember thinking I should have splurged on some fancy robes for me and the girls and that this shirt just wasn't fancy enough for all the make up and fancy hairsprayed hair:

How happy am I to have brought this shirt back from the "maybe" pile when purging - I bet it's been there 3 times in the last 10 years! I just couldn't get rid of it because there is nothing else like it in my wardrobe. I must have had some good fashion sense that the gingham was going to surge again in popularity. Or - I'm really stingy when it comes to purging my wardrobe...

About Me

I’m Molly, and More Charming in Person is my attempt to write about the “likes” in my little world in which I tend to dabble. Ideally, I see myself as driven and creative and full of energy to participate in all kinds of beauty-making.
However, I often struggle with obstacles such as laziness, self-doubt and frivolity (just to name a few). I feel that this space can be a place to inspire myself to remember that the path we take can be a more satisfying experience than the goal itself.
